## Resource

In this Episode, Alex talks with Noel about what turned out to be a chaotic but revealing weekend, as a flooded auditorium at the Holt Venue forced us to scatter across venues and live out its “one house, many rooms” identity in real time. From there, the conversation turns to the launch of the Rivals series, where Jesus Christ teaching about money as a competing master becomes the focus. Noel reflects on the difficulty of confronting money as a “rival god,” both personally and pastorally, and the subtle ways it shapes fear, anxiety, and decision-making. The discussion highlights how easily people miss or deflect these challenges, and why self-awareness is the real goal of the series. By the end, the episode frames the deeper question: what do we actually trust, and what are we afraid to lose?
